What theory? They actually tried putting locks on being able to enable those options in an official patch right after it was found out. Quite the unique philosophy about limiting players' options, when the game has like 10 preorder versions in the first place. Also worth mentioning that what was blocked was E3 bullshot footage that they forgot to remove, something designed specifically to trick people into thinking the game looks better than the final product.
Oh, and to top it off, they ended up making a statement calling players "entitled" for enabling existing options in the game they bought. That's a classic from them.
All this purity of heart and good intentions...
